Abstract
A system and method for monitoring and predicting wear of a cutting tool used for machining a workpiece is disclosed. The system includes a cutting tool having a shank and a cutting head. The system also includes a split, modular and wireless wear detection system including one or more sensors mounted to the cutting tool for providing a data signal representative of a physical condition of the system, and a data recording and data transmitting device for recording the data signal from the one or more sensors and for generating and transmitting a data signal to a processor. The processor applies a machine learning data processing technique in real time to monitor and/or predict a condition of various components and/or parameters of the system during a metal cutting operation.
